This is good, if you want to install a dbonly package to own "orphan" files. This is not good, if an installed package already owns the conflicting file. Then it can happen that both foo and bar packages will contain the same file, and when you remove one of those packages, the other one will become corrupt. Btw, I don't know if this matters, this whole --dbonly stuff is quite hackish. NG
